“Women are chasing young boys up and down the road, but we don’t hear about that because it’s not PC.”

Pastor Franklin Raddish, of the Capitol Hill Independent Baptist Ministries in South Carolina, used to say that he believed in protecting children from sexual predators. But that was before multiple women came forward accusing Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of child molestation. Now he chooses to stand by a pedophile, not children.

And Pastor Raddish is not only defending Moore. He is also now blaming all of the recent allegations of sexual misconduct against powerful men on a supposed “war on men.”

Raddish told AL.com this week that “more women are sexual predators than men.”

He added,

“Women are chasing young boys up and down the road, but we don’t hear about that because it’s not PC.”

Rev. Raddish has previously spoken out against pedophiles. But he only did so to justify his hatred and bigotry of the LGBT community.

In 2004, Raddish organized a protest at the Rhea County Courthouse in Dayton, Tennessee. He said the protest was to show opposition to pedophilia; in reality, it was to attack gay men.

“These people aren’t the good neighbor next door, they’re out to target young children. They must recruit their heritage,” Raddish said. “As many of them will die from AIDS, the only way they can keep their numbers is to recruit. Pedophiles and men dressing like ladies, their objective is recruitment of children.”

“The pedophiles will be here tomorrow. The men who dress like women will be here. The world wants to educate our children to be tolerant of homosexuals. The homosexuals can’t grow in number unless they recruit. How do they recruit? They sodomize. That’s the only way.”

This is the kind of right-wing “Christian” that is now supporting Roy Moore.

This Pastor has no problem making up lies to rationalize his own bigotry. Clearly, his goal is not to stop child molestation. Even now, with nine different women credibly accusing Roy Moore of sexual misconduct, Raddish would rather blame women, calling it a war on men, than stand up for what’s right and be a real moral leader.
